Who: Himeko Inaba and YOU.
What: Catch-all log for February
When: Throughout February.
Where: Various locations as listed.
Warnings: None for now, but will be updated as necessary.

↳ option one. ( during the disney trip, but not at disney )

[Perhaps you're one of the plucky ones that decided to say no to Disney, like Inaba and find yourselves rather bored--and well, given that everything is basically self-study now and Inaba is, well, not exactly hurting in terms of her studies, as she was a naturally good test taker. And on top of that, she was actually decent at math, so it's actually rather...

Well - it certainly doesn't push all her worries, but it definitely allows her to relax a bit, knowing that having an emptier school meant all the nuisances were gone, albeit temporarily.

Which also meant that she could do as she pleased. Hence for those who might still be around, they might notice her in various places, but especially on the second floor - particularly in the cooking room and workshop.

What she can be found doing in the cooking room is well, trying to teach herself how to cook a little better--it's something that she had been doing before, back home and is something that she wants to carry over here. Even more so since it's actually a matter of survival.

Probably doesn't help that she's not all that great of a chef and finds it rather frustrating to do so...]

[But she can't rely on others to cook for her in the first place!! What if someone decides to take advantage of that...! Well, at the very least, she isn't blowing up the kitchen and is instead just frustratedly staring at her cooking notes. It's probably fine.]

↳ option two. ( feb 12th )

[So. How about that tuition, huh?

Inaba, someone who looks at the PDA when she has the time to, even if she doesn't reply to everyone's antics, given the way she is.

But then that ping goes off and well...

...time for her to investigate the matter! People might notice her snooping around places where faculty may be while trying to be natural about it; not to mention that she's polite about it and all. But it's odd that she's trying to be so proactive and trying to actually talk to people, isn't it?

Hm.]

↳ option three. ( valentine's day )

[Otherwise known as "the worst day in Inaba Himeko's existence".

She's awfully aware of what day today is and while she's already naturally distant to most people, today is a day where she's... well, not in the best state. In fact anyone who is a third year, or teaches third years will probably notice that she's looking a lot more lethargic, and not in a 'she hasn't slept' way but she also has bags under her eyes showing that she hasn't slept much lately.

People who are observant will definitely notice that she's fiddling with her pendant idly, sighing heavily every now and again to the point where it's honestly just kind of sad.

After classes, she actively avoids people, wanting to find a room without people--or well. At best a place that she can keep herself distracted.

Which is why she chooses the library, stockpiling on a lot of random books. But none of them are romantic in nature. It's fine.]

↳ option four. ( wildcard )

[I wrote this all at 3AM, come @ me with anything else you want to do with Inaba, I'm down for a lot. She isn't going to Disney, but if anybody wanted to attempt to convince her prior to it, feel free to make An Attempt at least. Feel free to hmu at

tsundereban or on the Discord to plot something out!!]

...

[She lets a breath in, and then out, trying to push the fluster out of her face.]

I don't know. To be honest, I can't be sure. There's no proof of it at all--not here, not anywhere. And because it doesn't exist, there isn't anything I can say that would conclusively ground me.

After all--

[And here, she smiles.]

Who's to say that these feelings were placed in the 'current me' so that it'd hurt more? Maybe someone would want to observe that sort of thing... ha.

[ Truthfully, he can't help but feel bad. Really, just like the investigation... he doesn't have enough to say anything definitively.

He's completely convinced he's the true Shirogane Miyuki, former student council president of Shuchiin Academy, top of his class. The only one who can feasibly, with enough work, cause Shinomiya Kaguya to confess to him.

But proving that to someone convinced of the opposite... well. ]

If that's the case, then the best option's to track down whoever's responsible and get to the bottom of this.

We'll figure out if those feelings you're holding onto are real or not.

[ For Inaba's own sake. So she can breathe comfortably for once. ]

Was already planning on doing that. It's on the list--amongst a lot of other things.

Even if they're not real, though, that doesn't change the fact that I have them. And it doesn't change that I won't see him again, either.

[ Aaaand there it is. Kind of expected, but. ]

Then instead, use that feeling. Keep yourself you as long as you possibly can. Even if you don't see him--

[ He's making a lot of presumptions, so he immediately figures it's time to reel himself back in. ]

Well, if you don't see him or any of your loved ones, you can still hold onto what you have. Right now... it's not bad to go on as if they're real.

...

[For a moment, she's quiet. But it only lasts for a second, maybe two.]

You really are a kind person, you know.

[ --He just sighs and shakes his head. ]

Kind or not, I just don't want to see you lose any kind of hope. That's what fr-- er, allies do.

[ Well, anyway. He'll be holding onto Orient Express as he stands up. ]

I'd better get going. Crime solving training or not, I do still have school work to finish up.

[Don't think she didn't catch that misspoken word.

She will remember this.]

Yeah, yeah. Don't overdo it, though.
